N.B. The following passage is quoted from the website of the Musée Bourdelle. "Bourdelle's work was frequently inspired by mythological themes. The centaur has a special place in it, as shown by some of the frescoes adorning the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris, his famous sculpture the Centaure Mourant (Dying Centaur) and by many watercolours in which the artist freely expressed his sensibility in scenes with varied compositions."
